Returnal is the first full-fledged PlayStation 5 exclusive. Not a sequel or remake, but the original game. And to give SIE its due, releasing such an unusual game is a bold decision. On the one hand, Returnal offers a very atmospheric and dark adventure in a fantastic unknown world, an unusual concept of what is happening and a plot that fits well with it all. At the head of all this is the furious gameplay that does not allow you to relax even for a second. Battles are striking in their speed, dynamism and cruelty. On the other hand, this game is not for everyone: it does not stand on ceremony with the player and not everyone will like its high complexity, the need to start all over again at the slightest mistake, and the Roguelike concept itself. This is a rather narrow niche. Technologically Returnal perfectly demonstrates the capabilities of the new console. Including excellent graphics, 4K resolution, ray tracing, 60 fps frame rate and almost no downloads. Plus, Returnal makes abundant use of the DualSense gamepad capabilities as well as 3D Audio. All in all, Returnal can be called an incredibly well-made, unusual and interesting not-for-everyone exclusive.
